SignalR scales to exactly one node.

Rx seems to be evolving so fast that any examples seem to be broken.

We need a version of stackoverflow that maps examples to the Nuget versions and reports when they break (sounds like a specflow for newget).

Here is an article on BlockingCollections. These block while empty.

Here is a presentation on bringing the Actor programming model from Erlang to C#.

This needs some more demo code.

Here is how to have both low and high def versions of images

Here is a stackoverflow question on securing signalr.

The problem with creating a game in signalr is that you have exposed the endpoints to the client – which means that you can be scripted.

It’s fairly safe for broadcast.

There is a fairly serious design flaw in the Visual Studio 2012.

The menus are all in capital letters. This seriously reduces the readability.

I understand that someone is trying to be consistent with the Windows 8 Phone interface, but remember we are not writing software on a phone.

There is a registry hack that can fix this easily (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10859173/how-to-disable-all-caps-menu-titles-in-visual-studio-2012-rc) but really this should be a config option.

It’s even worse in Office 2013 the caps need to be fixed on a menu by  menu basis (edit the name and add a space at the end).

Back in the days when I was working with Delphi I loved the way that the service exe itself included the ability to install and uninstall it without requiring a seperate utility. This made deployment (and removal) a lot easier – especially if this needs to be explained in a short email.

The topshelf project provides this functionality. The service starts it’s life as a console application (for developer convenience) and can directly be installed as a service. It even by default provides command line help.
